A group of NASA students have become internet sensations after releasing a hilarious parody of the smash Meghan Trainor hit, All About That Bass.

The video shows the interns dancing their way around the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

And, true to form, stunning visuals from outer space were also edited into the footage for added effect.

Judging by the video's popularity - it's been viewed almost 900,000 times on YouTube - the students could have a promising future if they decide to swap space charts for the pop charts.

The parody was written by Sarah Schlieder in commemoration of the Orion space craft, is built to "boldly go" further into space than humans have ever gone before.

"Orion will serve as the exploration vehicle that will carry the crew to space, provide emergency abort capability, sustain the crew, and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities,” a post on the song's YouTube page stated.

NASA launched Orion earlier this month on a mission that the US space agency hopes will foreshadow the first human expedition to Mars.

It plans a second unmanned flight for 2018, and a manned mission to travel around the moon for the 2020s.

Eventually, the agency hopes to send astronauts on an Orion mission through deep space to an asteroid and Mars in the 2030s.
